After a slow past couple of weeks, things are picking up fast and furious at the Cowboys Valley Ranch training complex.

 

The players began the offseason training program on Monday under the guidance of strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek.

 

Meanwhile, the front office is using this week to get up close and personal with several national draft prospects. Potential draft picks are slated to visit the team's headquarters as early as Tuesday.

 

Ohio receiver Taylor Price is reportedly coming in on Tuesday with Kentucky fullback John Conner expected to make a visit on Wednesday. Other visits set for this week include receivers Dez Bryant (Oklahoma State) and Brandon Lafell (LSU), Georgia Tech safety Morgan Burnett, Idaho guard Mike Iupati, Penn State defensive end Jared Odrick and Penn State linebackers Sean Lee and Novarro Bowman.

 

The Cowboys will bring in several local prospects for the annual Dallas Day workouts on Monday April 5.
